How to activate childlock - Bosch Exxcel WFX 2467 Front Load Washer

Could be a defective control board

The lock button activates/deactivates the Keylock or the Childlock functions. This button has either a key or a padlock icon. I believe that on this model it is a padlock

Keylock

The Keylock feature disables all the buttons on the control panel.

To activate, press and hold the button until you hear one beep (3 seconds). The symbol

appears in the electronic display when the Keylock feature is activated.

Childlock

The Childlock feature locks the drawer and disables all the buttons on the control panel.

To activate, press and hold the button until you hear two beeps (5 seconds). The symbol

appears in the electronic display when the Childlock feature is activated.

To cancel the Childlock feature, press and hold the button until you hear one beep and the
symbol disappears from the electronic display.

This information can also be found in your product's Use and Care manual. If yours has been misplaced you can download or print one from Fisher and Paykel's website. http://www.fisherpaykel.com/customercare/userguide/index.cfm

If this doesn't work... And I've seen these units do some odd things. Try unplugging it for about an hour (if plug is not under sink you can turn of the breaker that powers the unit). Then plug it back in and see if that works. These dishwasher like many modern day appliances have solid state microprocessors in them which sometimes need reset just like a computer.

Hope this helps.

how do I unlock childlock

Childlock activated?

This is the manual for a different model heater but maybe it operates the same way....

deactivate the LOCK press and hold the
button for 3 seconds until the indicator
goes off.
During normal operation the LOCK may be
activated and all controls, other than the
OFF switch, will be locked. Deactivating
the LOCK releases the controls.
If the LOCK is activated while the unit is
turned OFF, then all functions will be locked
including the ON/OFF function. If the unit
is turned OFF while the LOCK is activated,
it cannot be turned ON again until the
LOCK is deactivated.

Is there a childlock function that may have been activated?

Not sure but is the childlock function activated?

Has the childlock function been activated?

If you no longer have the manual, you might be able to download it from these sites;

Obviously, you will need to supply the make model that you didn't include here.
